<H1>Querying in another form</H1>
<P>Choosing the &quot;Post codes&quot; in &quot;Example menu&quot;
takes you to a form that is ready to<SPAN LANG="en-GB"> query </SPAN>on&nbsp;
post codes.</P>
<P><IMG SRC="postcodesq.png" NAME="Graphic1" ALT="Postcodes - query mode" ALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH=686 HEIGHT=513 BORDER=0>
</P>
<P>Navigator bar&nbsp; is pretty much the same than in the previous
Countries query screen, but there is an extra drop down menu &quot;Open
views&quot;.</P>
<H3>Switching between views</H3>
<P>There is a difference between a form and a view. View is an
instance of a form. You can have the same form open as many times as
you wish as they are in different views. Naturally, you can have
different forms open at the same time.<BR>The only limiting factor is
that only one of them can be active, or in other words visible in the
workplace. Unless if you are running another session in another
browser window... 
</P>
<P>You can go from one view to another by selecting a view from <B>Open
views</B> menu in the navigator bar. The mode and state of the form
in the current view is stored and the view selected restores the
other form in the exact state it was left at. The <B>Open views</B>
menu displays all the other views open along with their mode and
possibly key value if browsing or editing.</P>
<P>In this example opening the <B>Open views</B> menu could show you
&quot;Browse - Countries - EA&quot;: a view that has a form called
Countries was left in browse mode displaying currently a record
having a key value 'EA'.</P>
<P>Switch back to the view with Post codes form. It is time to add
you favourite postcode, for whatever country you fancy.</P>
